“And there’s one player who should be your No. 1 target no matter what kind of league you’re in: Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen.”

That was a lead quote from Charles Curtis in a “For The Win” article in USA Today this week. Curtis went on to make a six point case of why Cohen should be on your fantasy team this week. Cohen’s speed, his ability to catch the ball, and his improvisational skills have fantasy drafters paying attention this week.

“We wondered in the preseason if Cohen would eat into Jordan Howard‘s passing game work, but it appears this could be more of a full-fledged committee after Cohen played on 43 percent of the plays to Howard’s 56. Cohen needs to be one of the priority adds this week as there’s no way the Bears stop using him after that display,” Gelhar wrote.

On every Fantasy Football list

So maybe not everyone has Cohen as the number one pickup at running back this week, but he still gets the “A” side on the bill.
